What is the tataw at Intramuros?
Tataw is a Filipino term that refers to the traditional way of cooking rice in bamboo tubes. It is a popular method of cooking rice in the Philippines, especially in the region of Intramuros. The bamboo tubes used in tataw cooking are hollowed out and then placed over out of a fire. The rice is cooked by placing the tube over a fire and continuously turning it to ensure even cooking. Tataw is considered a healthier option to traditional rice cooking methods as it does not require the use of oil or other cooking fats. It also has a unique taste that is different from the taste of rice cooked in a pot.
